Lyon, France: International Agency for Research on Cancer; 2010. Available from: http://globocan.iarc.fr, accessed on 15/09/2013. Lung cancer incidence and mortality Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers, with 1.6 million new cases per year worldwide 1 Lung cancer is the most common cause of death from cancer, responsible for 18.2% of all cancer deaths 1

3. Rates of lung cancer incidence and mortality differ worldwide 1 55% of new lung cancer cases occur in developing countries Highest lung cancer rates are found in Northern America Lung cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second most common in women Lowest lung cancer rates are found in Middle Africa Lung cancer is the 15 th most common cancer Northern America Central and Eastern Europe More developed regions Eastern Asia Micronesia Western Europe Polynesia Northern Europe Southern Europe Australia/New Zealand World South-Eastern Asia Less developed regions Caribbean Southern Africa Western Asia South America Central America Melanesia Northern Africa South-Central Asia Eastern Africa Western Africa Middle Africa 806040200 406080 MaleFemale Incidence Mortality 1.Ferlay J, Shin HR, Bray F, Forman D, Mathers C and Parkin DM.

5. Five-year survival trend Survival rates for lung cancer are generally low 1 Survival rates vary depending on stage at diagnosis. The later the stage of diagnosis the lower the survival rates tend to be. PERCENTAGE (%) 1. SEER. Fast Stats Online. 5 year survival by diagnosis. 1975-2004. All races. All ages. Male and Female.

6. NSCLC (85.3% of lung cancer) Lung Cancer (100%) NSCLC makes up approximately 85% of lung cancer 1 Other NSCLC (20.2% of lung cancer) Squamous cell carcinoma (21.4% of lung cancer) Adenocarcinoma (40.1% of lung cancer) 1.Howlader N, Noone AM, Krapcho M, et al. (eds). SEER Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2010, National Cancer Institute. Bethesda, MD, http://seer.cancer.gov/csr/1975_2010/, based on November 2012 SEER data submission, posted to the SEER web site, April 2013, accessed on 15/09/2013.

7. The distribution of NSCLC subtypes is changing 1 Since the 1980’s, squamous cell carcinomas have become relatively less common Meanwhile, adenocarcinomas have become relatively more common 1. Devasa S, Bray F, Vizcaino A, et al. Int. J. Cancer 2005: 117, 294–299 The reasons for these changes are unclear, but may be due to changes in the composition and filtering of cigarettes
